In preparation for cleaning the machine turn off the auto-fill function by pressing the “auger button” until the display reads “auger on”. The auto-fill will need to be turned off at a predetermined period of time prior to cleaning. This will depend on your predicted volume thru the rest of the day.

When ready to begin cleaning, turn off the refrigeration by pressing the “snowflake button” until display reads off.

Empty the product from the hopper. Try to get as much product out of the hopper as possible. Add warm water to help remove excess product if needed. All dispensed product must be thrown away and not reused. Repeat the process for the other hopper as necessary.

Begin the hopper teardown process by unplugging the lamp lid, followed by disconnecting the concentrate and water lines. Remove the hopper lid and set aside, this can not be submerged in water and must be hand washed. Take out the auto-fill refill probe, before you remove the hopper. Repeat the process for the other hopper.

Remove the hopper, auger, hopper seal, and auger nose seal, if used, from the machine. With the hopper removed you can now start disassembling the faucet assembly to be cleaned. Repeat the process for the other hopper. Remove the drip tray and grate to be cleaned with hopper parts. All items except for the rubber seals can be placed in the dishwasher. It is not recommended to use rinse agents if using the dishwasher as this may cause stress cracking on the hopper.

If you are not using the dishwasher, place all removed and disassembled parts in the sink to be washed with warm soapy water. Once all parts have been washed place in a Kay-5 sanitation bath to soak for several minutes. While the parts are soaking wipe down the exterior of the machine, cooling drum, hopper drip tray, and auto-fill refill probe.

Reattach the auto-fill refill probe to the hopper. Then place the hopper lid back on top of the hopper, plugging in the lid lamp. Reconnect the concentrate and water lines to the back of the hopper. Reattach the drip tray and put the grate in place.

Turn the auto-fill option back on by pressing the auger button until the display reads “left auger refill on”. Followed by turning on the refrigeration by pressing the “snowflake button” until the display reads ice.
